Why doesn't Boyds  make a forarm for Handy Stocks ? Or did I just miss it.

I scoured their website one day specifically looking for a stock set for a Handi project.  I didn't see a forend, either.
They are nice folks, and the young lady that answers the phone is especially friendly and helpful.  Their phone number is on their website.  I'd wager a direct question would get a direct answer.....
I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline

http://gunstocksinc.com/ have laminates that match pretty close and several styles of forearms. Shipping is kinda high IMHO

Boyd's told some members here a couple months ago that they'd have forends by the end of the year..... but they didn't say which year apparently.  :-\

I talked to Boyd's before Christmas about this.  I was told they tried to get the fore-ends on the site by the holidays but missed the mark.  Hopefully on there soon.

I got a used barrel with a cinnamon laminated fore end.
It looked like the Boyd's cinnamon, so I ordered a stock.  They are a great match.

Boyd's assured me that the forends will be in stock shortly... but to be on the safe side, I ordered the last two camo laminate bull forends that Numrich had in stock... the Boyd;s Sterling camo laminate butt stocks are on the way from Boyd's as I write this.  ;D

From what I hear, Boyds makes all of the laminates for just about all of the manufacturers.
